Around the Tebah

Should we take it as a compliment if our top daily paper by circulation publishes a picture lifted from our blog? Sadly neither due credits nor acknowledgements are in sight, at least on the webpage. I have sent several pictures to this paper in the past and they almost always ended up with the proper author quoted alongside.
The problem arises from the fact that this photo was posted only on this blog, in February 2011, and it was never sent to anybody. How did it end up in the newspaper slideshow for the 50 years of the new synagogue of Livorno? A simple slip-up? An anonymous sender of someone else's pictures?

Mart

I do not know if “Mart” is a person or a group,

but the works under this signature are usually interesting and creative.
